Mailing Lists

DEI Mailing Lists are managed by a Mailman List Manager. Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. It is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists.

Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.

Users can manage all aspects of their mailing lists via the web interface: http://lists.dei.uc.pt
This page is only accessible from the DEI Network (wired or wireless). To access it from outside DEI, use the VPN service.

Available Mailing Lists

Every course taught at DEI uses a mailing list, which is used by teachers and students for course-related discussions. These course mailing lists are restricted to email addresses from the *.uc.pt domain.

There are also many other mailing lists — for research groups, events, specific topics, or general interests. For more information, visit: http://lists.dei.uc.pt

Subscribe to a Mailing List

To subscribe to a mailing list, enter your email address and optionally a privacy password. This provides mild security and prevents others from tampering with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password, as it may occasionally be emailed to you in cleartext.

If you choose not to enter a password, one will be generated for you and sent after confirming your subscription. You can request a mail-back of your password or edit your personal options at any time. A reminder email with your password is sent once a month.

Manage Lists

To view all the lists you are subscribed to, you need to authenticate in the Mailman system.

For example, to manage the "desporto" mailing list, visit:
https://lists.dei.uc.pt/mailman/options/desporto

The last part of the URL is the name of a mailing list you belong to. After authenticating, click the "List my other subscriptions" button to view all lists you are subscribed to.

Mailing List Archives

Mailing list archives are available at: http://lists.dei.uc.pt. All mailing lists are private, and you must be a member of a list to browse its archives.
